<p>I'm Korean, and I'm failing at the SAT math(what a disgrace, lol jk). But anyways, I've heard from numerous sources that the SAT math is mostly algebra 1 and geometry; and to sum up my algebra 1 class, all I would have to say is that it wasn't my greatest year. To be honest I half assed my way through the class, and mainly because I really had no passion or interest in math at the time. That was way back in middle school and now I'm in highschool. I'm currently in honors algebra 2 and excelling, probably because I've grown an interest toward arithmetic/mathematics. And what's strange is that I seem to struggle with algebra 1 but not algebra 2, which doesn't seem to add up. And after taking numerous advice on improving the SAT math I just haven't seen any drastic improvements. So my call to action would be to review all the topics of algebra 1-and word problems. I've concluded that the best choice would be to buy an algebra 1 review guide. I read somewhere that the art of arithmetic or mathematics volume I is the best review for the SAT math; however, I'd rather have multiple options so that I can see which book would be the best for me. Sooo... what do you guys recommend? Thanks...</p>
<p>gruber’s sat math or barron’s sat math do well.
after you go through the book, the only way to get that 780-800 is through consistent practice.</p>
<p>please note that these books are good for MATH ONLY and not in CR/W. There are other books for these sections. But the only really “good way” to get good at SATs is practice</p>
<p>Hmm, I personally wouldn’t recommend a study book. I mean, if you really want to improve your math on difficult problems, just get a Math II study and review the concepts.</p>
<p>If you want to get an 800 on the regular SAT, just do a ton of practice tests. Get the PR and work through all the tests (check your answer thoroughly). Get the Barron’s and work through it (check your answers, review concepts). Finally, get the BB and work through all of the tests there.</p>
<p>If you’re fine on CR/W, just concentrate on math. Like all standardized tests, the SAT is just full of patterns and repeated concepts. If you review enough, you’ll just see the same old problems again and again. =P</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
<p>I suck at math too. Just have to practice.</p>
